the reason the white wire is long is because the joystick is supposed to be on the right side of your chair and the throttle is supposed to be on the opposite side of the chair, they are not meant to be right next to eachother
I loved it when I got it. But the 360 one wasn't as good as the ps2 one from ace combat 5. Bought both new. Problem is the 360 one has a deadspot in centre
@SaccharineLlama I use mine on Apache, and IL2 Sturmovik birds of prey. I find its very good in Apache but takes a little more practice on IL2. The only thing lacking is more games for the sticks.
@Lithonion1 do you have Apache for xbox? I've been trying to find someone that wants to play some co-op. If so add me on xbox. my gamertag is yogidrummer333
@robertisamazingful Thanks but i guess i should have been more specific. I own a ps3. I know this vid is for a 360 stick but im real new to the flight sim world so im just getting my feet wet & checking everything out. Is there any good ones for the ps3 that you know of w/ force feedback & good response?
@dreamgetter13 Actually there is no dead zone. Ace Combat 6 is the problem. The programming makes it so you have to fly with hard motions and can't fly with light touches. It works amazingly with most every other game.
Yes all controklers have a dead-zone but if u notice the size, this ones is much much bigger. Most 360 contollers dead-zones are so small they are almost non-existant.
The long cord isn't at all ridulous. I got to play around with one of the air forces FA-18 Flight simulators. The controls are very spread apart and your, quite ironically, comfortably sat in a seat that could be a recliner in ur bedroom. What they're simply doing is if you want to recreat this life-like affect that you have in a real aircraft only in your own chair. Besides the cord is easily tied up like on ur video. As for the dead zone, all controllers like that have them, it takes tuning
Very nice review. however, the long cable between two joysticks is not ridiculous but very smart. If you know the real cockpits of F-16, F-22, etc. it is very clear. you must also know if you have ever used T.Flight Hotas X whose cable is too short to put them in between you.
do you have to pay microsoft points for the xbox system in order to play ace combat 6 online....I was on the ace combat 6 website and clicked on the DLC section and it said that playing online was a DLC
If you look at an actual cockpit of a fighter plane, you'll notice that the joysticks are on each side of the seat. Hence the long white cord, so that you can place both sticks on seperate sides and hide the cord under or around the seat.
The dead zone sucks to hear about. In an actual fighter barely moving the stick 1/8 of an inch will adjust the rutters enough to turn the plane around in a few seconds. Very great design, very dissapointing product.
Ya the dead zone is a huge let down, but who cares if it is wireless or not? I mean even wired it stretched all the way across your room, how much farther do you need? Do you plan on playing in the kitchen with your T.V upstairs? Besides like Lesley Henriquez said, it saves lots of batteries and lots of money. The only difference between wired and wireless is the money saved and the wire, that is it. Video game players need to get their head out their asses and realize that.
its another piece of shit that suckers like u waste ur money on and make the jews even richer...... the game AMAZING but is one of the only good games on the xbox
@kriptonis then buffer times before you can play over just having a wired controller and keep playing till the controller wares out. only reason why people don't have wire is either they don't have room to dedicate space to gaming, don't like taking care of a wire's all together,(which doesn't mean anything) or they have animals if you have the room and your animals are well trained(or they are not in your room or you don't have any or they simply don't go after your wires) use wires its cheaper
@pathofchaos1 what people do is have a spare set of charged batteries. When the ones on the gamepad run out, replace and recharge, no waiting time. Modern mouses/gamepads have built in batteries and charge by USB. They are always charged. Technically you have both wireless and wired (when charging). Yes wired is cheaper. But so is writing in a piece of paper. And yet, here we are writing in the computer. Versatility.
@kriptonis More batteries = more money, and as time's get worse, and prices go up I'am looking for cheaper things, but still have a good time playing. I prefer wired, because my room is constructed in a way that the only place my controller cant reach (except for the ps3's standard u.s.b. cable) is when I'am leaving my room or out of site of my t.v. and monitor so wire isn't a problem for me so i keep it as is. (fyi) I'am not such a money grubber as everything has to be cheap.
@MADBLUETHANG Didn't read into the convo much did you, and just looked at 1 comment -_-.Then you have a buffer time for recharge and then comes the i got 2 sets 1 to charge and 1 to play on well thats were loss of money comes into play when you could of just had a wire and totally gone past a few problems "1 money for batteries, 2 the buffer time for its recharging, 3 and the random pop ups like on the Xbox that makes a screen show up and say hey your batteries are low and then you get sniped.
@lesleyhenriquez It's not the case with the new gloss Xbox 360 S Controller. Honestly, here's the proof. I have a pair of Energizer RECHARGEABLE 2200mAh +AA batteries which last for literally a month without recharge with vibration turned to 50% and two months if its 25% (except you hardly feel it). But it runs out in a day if vibe. is max.
@MuzzaHukka Could be true. But that is one little controller. I have a Wii, xbox360, PS3, pc with joystick joypad mouse keyboard penpad, and then I leave out remotes, which cost me enough batteries on their own. I chose to have all those pads and boards wired because it is a hell of a job to keep stocked on batteries, alternative is rechargeable but you always three sets behind, then there is Li-ion batteries but they run out in 2 years. 360 glossy controller does not end it all.
@weerobbiet Actually real fighter jets don't have that kind of dead zone. Working on F-15's part of my job entailed performing operational checks and rigging the flight control system.
i think the jog wheels on the throttle are there becuse the stick is (well seems to be) a clone of the saitek x42/52 sticks. that dead zone is pretty horrendous, is there any fix?
DARN if you are going to bother with all the kit i.e. expensive flight controls, at least play the game from cockpit view and make it realistic GRRRRR
i think ima stick with the controller rather than a flight stick cuz im used to those controls and that thing isnt wireless and like he said not sensitive and the controller is alot more sensitive
the lack of sensitivity just adds to the realism. a real fighter jet does not have very sensitive flight sticks (more sensetive than this one though). you have to be brutal because you want the plane to do what you want it to do (did that sound wierd?)
Great review mate, would love to get one of those sticks, but for the apparent high price, dead zone and no vibration atall, i dont think i will be getting one, thanks alot you saved me some money ;)
Hey man, I don't think Ace Combat is the best example for the stick even though it's the game it was made for. I have it and feel similar about the stick on that game. However if you play something like After Burner Climax, it is way more responsive and vibrates like crazy when hit. At least for me it did.
I was thinking about buying one but the dead zone, it being wired and the no vibration features are un forgivable. Beleive me, I'm a pilot and in real life if my controls were that sloppy the plane would be unflyable!
On June 4, 2010 for $19.99 I got mine used at a GameStop. I have seen both reviews for this controller and want to let both reviewers know that my controller 1) has a rumble feature on it and 2) does not have a severe "dead zone" mentioned by you. Maybe there is more than one model of this stick (I am aware of a re-release in U.S. Best Buy stores), or there was a conflict because of playing the PAL version or the rumble was just turned off. I have had no such problems with mine. I love it.
it ant crap it a great and it wud be good itf it didnt have tht dead zone and they mmade a new H.A.W.X and made a pad like tht for it cos the H.A.W.Xgame is great man i loved it well anuf of tht it ant tht bad is it
I was looking at getting the Hori EX Black version of this controler which was only released in Japan for the 360. I was told the controler should with with my Xbox but not sure if the my version of Ace combat 6 will run it or not. The hori EX also has rumble this time around which the special edition did not? The EX was released last year so maybe they fixed some of the issues which are mentioned in this review.
My sticks BROKE. I took them to a shop and they are fixing them up to working condition. It is costing me $80. I am so thrilled to get it back. I use these on ace combat, HAWX, Arma 2, BattleField 2. works great with PC flight Games.
Did you know that if you use a xim360, then you can use ANY PC control device with the xbox 360? Have you tried that yet? I used a Thrustmaster T-16000M joystick to play Midnight Club Los Angeles on Xbox 360. It worked pretty well. I could steer better than with the xbox controller thumbstick. It didn't have any huge dead zone either.
@XanaduZune I was mistaken. My Thrustmaster joystick does have a large dead zone when I use it with xim360 to play Xbox 360 games. The xim360 people said that it's the fault of the xbox 360 game itself. So it looks like it is common for xbox 360 games to have large dead zones to deal with the thumb sticks. My Thrustmaster joystick doesn't have a large dead zone when I play PC games with it. It looks like the xbox 360 system and its games just aren't designed for large analog joysticks.
about the long wire....... the F16 has the throttle on one side of the cockpit and the stick on the other so u might wana do that so tht might be the reason for the long wire
reason why its that un sensitive is because it takes time for a plane to move dummy... its air speed determines the manuverability and the game does detect ur motion... u want the controls to be fake... understand the body of an actual jet fighter before u reveiw the controls of 1
The reason the wire is so long is cas in a real plane the controls are on the left and right of you, not in front. co the wire can go under you and the controlles can be on your sides
True story, I pre-ordered Ace combat 5 just the game, awhile back for PS2 and was with my mom. Brought the receipt and he got a ladder out went to the top shelf and pulled down this huge box, and was like "Well there you go...". I was so excited and said mom gimmie your keys and ran out to the car and threw it in there just in case he realized what he had done. I scored the Flightstick bundle that retailed for 130$ for 50$. I recently just parted with it for 90$ to buy Mass Effect 2 etc. :<
very true mate. it is very unforgivable with the price it carries for the manufacturers to not make it uptodate. i hope in the future they will learn from this one.
I've done some research on this. The dead zone demonstrated is NOT an issue of the Ace Edge. The dead zone is in software in Ace Combat 6. On OTHER Xbox 360 games the dead zone is almost non-existant. ...Which leaves the question as to why an undisableable massive dead is in the game.
I suspect the crappyness of that flight stick is because AC1-6 are actually arcade flight games, not true simulators. So it really wanst made to be used with a flight stick. You want realistic and better flight sticks you might have to invest in a good flight sim.
I know it's been sometime since you have posted this and I was wondering if you still had the controller and could I purchase it from you. Just send me a message on my profile. Blackswat42 thankyou
@HAWX142 I'm not gonna discuss what game is better :P its going to be an endless conversation than :P but a few of the soundtracks of Ace Combat 6 a pretty good. but i will try HAWX maybe it has some intresting soundtracks a well :P
My taste in games is specific. For me a good game is a game that is affordable, entertaining and does not require you to buy additional non high quality hardware that you aren't going to use for anything else but the game in question. Don't say that my taste is bad, considering you don't even know what games I've played. Funny thing with the whole "limited edition" gig is that it's done only for games that don't sale as much as the others.
got this controller myself (from ebay....paid ridiculous money lol...but i had to have it) this package is an exact copy (only in white) of the saitek X36 pack with the rotary controls deactivated. cos it cost me that much i went crazy and built a cockpit for it with a 20" monitor and a centre console and 4.1 surround system . ill post a video of it for you (to show you why you get the really long cable stop the "dead zone " by adusting the tension on the bottom of the stick.
I have the stick right from the store and the dead zone is not there. You must have a faulty controler. My was very sensitive and worked great. Until something happened and now it does not work at all but I can tell you with certainty that the dead zone is not there if it is brand new from factory. Sorry dude
all the thing is, is a re-designed Saitek X-45

I was looking at getting the Hori EX Black version of this controler which was only released in Japan for the 360. I was told the controler should with with my Xbox but not sure if the my version of Ace combat 6 will run it or not. The hori EX also has rumble this time around which the special edition did not? The EX was released last year so maybe they fixed some of the issues which are mentioned in this review.

My sticks BROKE. I took them to a shop and they are fixing them up to working condition. It is costing me $80. I am so thrilled to get it back. I use these on ace combat, HAWX, Arma 2, BattleField 2. works great with PC flight Games.

Did you know that if you use a xim360, then you can use ANY PC control device with the xbox 360? Have you tried that yet? I used a Thrustmaster T-16000M joystick to play Midnight Club Los Angeles on Xbox 360. It worked pretty well. I could steer better than with the xbox controller thumbstick. It didn't have any huge dead zone either.
XanaduZune 1 year ago
@XanaduZune I was mistaken. My Thrustmaster joystick does have a large dead zone when I use it with xim360 to play Xbox 360 games. The xim360 people said that it's the fault of the xbox 360 game itself. So it looks like it is common for xbox 360 games to have large dead zones to deal with the thumb sticks. My Thrustmaster joystick doesn't have a large dead zone when I play PC games with it. It looks like the xbox 360 system and its games just aren't designed for large analog joysticks.

about the long wire....... the F16 has the throttle on one side of the cockpit and the stick on the other so u might wana do that so tht might be the reason for the long wire

reason why its that un sensitive is because it takes time for a plane to move dummy... its air speed determines the manuverability and the game does detect ur motion... u want the controls to be fake... understand the body of an actual jet fighter before u reveiw the controls of 1
Zayde101 1 year ago
The reason the wire is so long is cas in a real plane the controls are on the left and right of you, not in front. co the wire can go under you and the controlles can be on your sides

MrDimebag1995 1 year ago
True story, I pre-ordered Ace combat 5 just the game, awhile back for PS2 and was with my mom. Brought the receipt and he got a ladder out went to the top shelf and pulled down this huge box, and was like "Well there you go...". I was so excited and said mom gimmie your keys and ran out to the car and threw it in there just in case he realized what he had done. I scored the Flightstick bundle that retailed for 130$ for 50$. I recently just parted with it for 90$ to buy Mass Effect 2 etc. :<

I've done some research on this. The dead zone demonstrated is NOT an issue of the Ace Edge. The dead zone is in software in Ace Combat 6. On OTHER Xbox 360 games the dead zone is almost non-existant. ...Which leaves the question as to why an undisableable massive dead is in the game.

harjinder14 2 years ago 2
I suspect the crappyness of that flight stick is because AC1-6 are actually arcade flight games, not true simulators. So it really wanst made to be used with a flight stick. You want realistic and better flight sticks you might have to invest in a good flight sim.

My taste in games is specific. For me a good game is a game that is affordable, entertaining and does not require you to buy additional non high quality hardware that you aren't going to use for anything else but the game in question. Don't say that my taste is bad, considering you don't even know what games I've played. Funny thing with the whole "limited edition" gig is that it's done only for games that don't sale as much as the others.

hey sajid,
got this controller myself (from ebay....paid ridiculous money lol...but i had to have it) this package is an exact copy (only in white) of the saitek X36 pack with the rotary controls deactivated. cos it cost me that much i went crazy and built a cockpit for it with a 20" monitor and a centre console and 4.1 surround system . ill post a video of it for you (to show you why you get the really long cable stop the "dead zone " by adusting the tension on the bottom of the stick.

I have the stick right from the store and the dead zone is not there. You must have a faulty controler. My was very sensitive and worked great. Until something happened and now it does not work at all but I can tell you with certainty that the dead zone is not there if it is brand new from factory. Sorry dude
